Disappointment

is the reaction of the neighbourhood mooch-cat to finding that the interesting pile on the kitchen floor is only locks of hair from the buzzcut I gave my son this morning instead of something delicious.

“To tell of disappointment and misery, to thicken the darkness of futurity, and perplex the labyrinth of uncertainty, has been always a delicious employment of the poets”

Any tour of the world including Mount Disappointment and the various Capes Disappointment (if the major tour companies aren’t offering it yet, they should be) should also include the postcode Mount Debatable and the WA town of Useless Loop.

There’s a Mount Buggery, too, isn’t there, somewhere?
I am very disappointed today as I logged into Netbank and discovered a double pay. On ringing work I’m told that it’s an accounting error, not an unexpected bonus. Gah!

Bugger!
And yes, there is indeed a Mount Buggery. Wikipedia has a picture titled “View of Mount Buggery and Cross Cut Saw from Mount Speculation” which makes one to ponder on what those timbercutting pioneers got up to around their campfires, yes it does.
